Like for the hammock

Man, the old lady who sells fruit is gonna love this!

I like the bulkiness my hands are very large which is funny because when I was a kid when the GBA SP launched it fit in my hands perfectly but now the GBA SP is too small for my hands but when I got my Anbernic SP it felt exactly like how I remember it was to hold the GBA SP

I received mine on monday and I'm loving it. Takes me back to the early 2000s... It's already the best handheld of 2024! 🎉

I was never a fan of OG SP back then, so this Anbernic SP doesn't attract me at all, but yeah, nostalgia plays a big role on these things and they know it. That's why I love my GB-colored RG35XX Plus, despite its black bezels 😂

I much prefer watching your reviews on handhelds compared to the other channels that go so in-depth that most of the time regular consumers just won't care. Unlike your videos, you don't go so much into specs but rather the experience of using these devices. Which is way more important for me. I bought the RG35XXH after watching your videos. I hope your channel grows more.

I love my flippy boy! The thickness makes it more comfy to hold for long periods, I think. And it still fits in my pocket just fine. Plus I can throw it in my car or pocket or bag and I dont need a case to protect it.

I have a black transparent one and my hinge creaks. I think it has more to do with the hinge mechanism than the plastics on the device

I love mine, feels great and stock OS is waaay better than my OG RG35XX. Now we need a RG35XX DS.

Anbernic, hear me!! Give us an ANBERNIC LYNX!😀👾

One thing I don't think I've seen any reviewer talk about is the fact that the flippy screen keeps it at a much better angle for you to look at while you play it. As in, you don't have to crane your head lower or hold/angle your hands as severely to get into a good position for playing/viewing the screen. I think this makes it significantly more comfortable to game on than a flat device like a phone or the RG35XX H for example. And if you have a 3D printer, you can print out a grip for it so that you can have a more comfortable grip on the device when you want long sessions.

Personally, I think it's going to more popular than the OG Miyoo. Just my opinion. Thanks Vlad. BTW, I was older than you NOW when the original SP was released. Just saying, still looking for my tree.

I think that the SP is amazing. I have the gray one and it looks very retro looking. I like the fact that on games that require a joystick, if you press the power button it will enable the joystick functionality on the dpad without requiring mapping. That’s an amazing feature. However, after playing for an hour non-stop, I noticed that my hands were hurting. I had not experience pain with the H, the Plus, or even the tiny 28xx. Maybe I’m getting old, Lol. Who knows. I still like it though. The clicky buttons make noise but if you’re wearing headphones, you won’t noticed it. And there’s something about the clicky sound that makes the gaming experience fun. However, for sure it won’t be the handheld for times when I’m waiting at the doctors office etc. i will still play games but perhaps not for an hour straight. Lol. I believe out of the 35xx family, the H is by far my favorite all in one hand held and the price is a no brainer to own an least 2. I’m hoping Anbernic releases a retro gray version of the H to complement the handhelds I have. So Anbernic if you’re reading this…. Give us a retro gray if the H.

"It would be Flippy Boy awesome if you joined the channel." FTFY

About the creak. You are probably hearing the screen ribbon "flick" across itself. You can maybe fix by rewrapping it. Can even see them touching on the transparent ones.

One reviewer stated that you can turn the buttons to analog sticks by double tapping the power button. I haven't gotten around to confirm it but for games that use the sticks as camera adjustments this would be a better than nothing. Can anyone confirm that? I asked on reddit and fb and can't get a clear answer.

Great video!! Your channel icon would look sweet under the hood of that blue one. Although the A30 took the wind out of my sail,.. I'm still hoping for a great Miyoo "flippy boy".

My opinion on thumbsticks: like cars, they're nice when they're new, but they have rubber parts that need to be replaced and by the time they wear out they don't make parts for them anymore. That's where you contact it the most often too, imagine buyng a car that you can't change the tires? If they're rubber parts and they're not easily replaceable I don't want them

Definitely do the button tape mod like Retrogamecorps. Made a huge difference for sound and button directness for me.

Great video. I love mine and I'm so glad it doesn't have thumb sticks!

Well, you can hate it, because it has no Arcade Stick for Real Arcade Nostalgic 😂👍

I'm with you Vlad, I want thumb sticks and am anticipating the miyoo flip, that being said I'm a weak man and have my flippy boy in the mail as we speak lol

I bought the silver the first week this was available. I had hinge creak issues as well. I also felt it was too bulky. I wanted to replace my Miyoo Mini + with something more powerful and portable but wasn’t satisfied. I returned it and got the 28xx instead. I’m glad I did too, GBA just looks gorgeous on the smaller screen and it just slides into my pocket.

Thanks for the heads up, my transparent black 35XXSP arrives today. I have the H and love it, but I like the nostalgic form factor of the SP. I may try a different CFW for the SP. I already use modified stock on the H.

I agree with you on a lot of things but the SP is very much so the most pocketable. While it is a thick boi, that's all it is. Its very small in length and width so it fits the pocket better. It also protects the screen so you dont have to worry about being delicate going in and out of the pocket. The RG35xxH is less pocketable because it's screen is exposed and you're messing up your analog sticks. The SP is the ideal for any retro style games that don't use analog sticks. And if i want sticks I can just use a Bluetooth controller. I like my handheld without the sticks so its not as cluttered as well.

Generally speaking, I started calling it the "35-SP" I have the clear blue and I love it. I am waiting for Knulli to add the sleep function to the lid and I will be 100% satisfied. I am also actively researching portmaster ports like SkiFree and Space Cadet Pinball

i try to stay away from clear plastics as those tend to be the weakest kind. since this is a flip up i can't see the hinges lasting long. Please anbernic make a solid black one that isn't clear. I always wanted the black gb sp

i got the blue boy and love it. some of the emulation doesn't translate well because the lack of thumbsticks. i like it still but now one the RG Cube now because it emulations my favorite generations of the PS2/Game Cube era, and it's also android.

Missing an analog stick is a big let down for me. N64 Dreamcast and PS1 emulation depend on it.

I don't understand the criticism for nothing having sticks. That's basically the point if this device. To resemble a GBA So as much as possible. There are 4 different devices in the RG35xx family so everyone can buy what suits them. With the same reasoning I don't understand people buying the H version and taking off the sticks when you could have gone for another device in the family without them.

Yes, the thumb sticks are sorely missed which makes me only more prepared for a 3ds ripoff from Anbernic

For me the problem is how hard the buttons are no the sound. For a game like contra you either use turbo or your finger will be destroyed after some minutes of play.

You've arrived and I'm so happy 🎉 someone finally sent you a device. Well deserved fellow nerd

I would say the flip screen is for protecting the screen from scratches.

Dude, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have a question: If u had a choice between the RG35XX SP, H, or Plus, and u could only have 1. Which would it be? The H, right?

Love this bro glad someone pointed this out! This could make some ppl mad. Also I have a idea! Maybe you can help out! I wanna make a baby RGB thin film lair with different color LEDs with a baby lithium battery and it's own micro charge controller that all you have to do is remove some screws unplug your battery then plug in a 2 way wire for the battery and bam! RGB in these thing is I down own the RG3xxSP I own a RG405V clear purple which I absolutely love and I still have a RG353V black clear. Send me a message back if you can tell me if your battery is soldered to the abernic motherboard or is it a plug that you can pop out cause I wanna make these for bunch of different models. Also you seem like a real smart person being European im guessing. I'm Romanian lol but you can help with the designs also the thickness could work in our favor for this idea

This way of explanation is really awesome❤❤❤😂🎉

It's a fun device but I can't get over how great my 35xx+ feels in hand.

Flippy boy vs flipzizzle: who wins? That is the real question you must address.

I use It expecially for Pokémon hack roms, cause I hate to play on the smartphone touchscreen. I didnt have the Nintendo sp but i play a lot on the Nintendo Ds and the gb color. And the shell configuration for me works the best cause I can put It wherever I want without risking to scratch the screen. Just an amazing console

I have a blue boy but have been lusting over the IBM PC Grey one for a while now... all I need is a little sale to push me over the edge!

if the miyoo flip can fix the issues with the rg35xxsp (clicky buttons, thickness and lack of thumbstick(s)) I wouldn't mind double dipping and picking one up even though I bought the sp. I just love this form factor. I mainly want thumbsticks. I'll even be happy with just one thumbstick where the speaker is located on the sp considering most games this thing will be able to emulate require only one

Your explanation is great. I really wanted this RG35xx SP. It was my dream, especially the blue color. My original was stolen by my addicted friend. He glued it without me. This console is great, but I can't afford to buy it for several reasons. When it turns out that this product is available, my entire childhood was liberating. I'm from Brazil. tumara translator is great from google

While I love the Retro Colors of these things, it's the transparent models that just, are so dang neat and well, that's why both my RG35XX H and Plus are both transparent colors. And my Steam Deck OLED LE, etc...

I purchased the Anbernic SP knowing I was mainly going to play the GB family of games and consoles up to the SNES so I'm fine with not having thumbsticks I actually prefer it without sticks.

I disagree about the size. Unless you're putting the device straight in your pocket with no other items, a standard handheld is going to need some sort of case to protect the screen and controls. Those cases add a lot of bulk. The SP form factor eliminates the need for a case, so the end result is much more compact.

I love your both your accent & sense of humor…

I wonder if someone will figure out the hinges. On reddit someone had one that was missing what looked like a bolt in the hinge. It looks like it can be tightened to adjust the holding/closing force and maybe the angle. I love mine, I have the blue, I had my Steam Deck on once in the since I got mine. That what it is for me, a companion for my Steam Deck. If my SP plays it that is where it is played, saving my Steam Deck battery life.

cant decide between these two color patterns? which to choose? :0

I can't decide on whether I like the RP Flip or the SP better... I am thinking about doing PS2, PSP, N64 and GC on the Flip and older on the SP... But man I love these handhelds haha

1. Trimui Smart Pro 2. RGB30 3. RG35XX H 4. RG35XXSP

FINALLY YOU DID IT, THE VOLUME IS LOUD,U ARE NOT SOFT, YESSSAAAAA!!!!

I got both of those and the black, too. The DMG looks great, but I worry it will scuff too easily.

Removing the thumb stick doesn't make any sense and I'm very confused by anyone would do that Just ignore them if you don't want to use them. Also I could have swore I saw a clamshell device that had thumb sticks but I could be wrong. I do remember I saw a KZfaq video where the KZfaqr had a device that looked like an SP but it was smaller than an official SP If size is a big problem for you.

I can't wait for the RG40xxsp

My blue boy arrived yesterday. Nostalgia. No Mario though.

Is this better than an XU10?

Man, I just recently got into the retro handheld space. Been loving my RG35XX Plus (Mother No-Flipper) but your channel is by far my favorite retro handheld channel! The humor is on point, the focus on the overall feel and user experience with the device is refreshing to say the least! #PeopleAreHorriblePetsReignSupreme

I was 29 when the SP came out, I owned platinum.

The cardigan chess club friend and the go to the rave and tell jokes friend... I feel like we need both of these friends in our lives to be a complete human being. I'm going to buy both. Great video Vlad, love your work brother 😃👍🏻

Our teams are facing off in the EC tonight. May the best Nerds win!

Really enjoyed this review! I already got my hands on the silver one and I am really enjoying it! The only thing I'm not fond of is the clickyness of the buttons and they're not super comfy to use when playing racing games like mario kart but beyond that, it's one of my favourites :D

I have a silver and a silver and I have the same differences between the two. Except my blue one (newer batch) has way quieter and easier to press switches on the buttons. It's quieter and softer than the one with the tape mod

You completely lost me in the comparison between the two Edit: watched a bit more of the video and realized it was a rationalization to justify having both. Fair enough lol

LMAO my blue boy legit just got delivered today so i was picking up when i started watching your video. Yeah i... would have really preferred something thinner but im very excited regardless

From what i have herd and you didn't talk about, some people don't like loudness of buttons, i hope if they make them more soff, if they manage to make device more slim it would be instant hit.

I want one so bad but I'm holding out for a better version. Size, no left joystick and proper sleep just holds me back right now. Plus it's higher priced than the rg35xxH which I have already.

I really enjoy your videos. They are like talking to a friend between classes 😁

I wish Powkiddy would make an updated version of the V90. Make the screen actually 3" (instead of 2.7"), make it 640x480 and add a beefier processor (something like the one from the R36S would be more than enough). It can actually play GBA through GPSP 1.2.2 pretty dang well, but sadly we have no GBA color correction or grid shaders. If we at least had enough resolution to scale it without looking like shit (or have an actual integer scaling, which is impossible on the 320x240), that be more than enough.

What about fingerprints? Do they smudge easily? Do the transparent show less dirt?

The color thing you pointed out I can almost put money down on its deferent manufacturers of the case there not made in the same place also makes sence why the plastic is different

I don't ever comment because I don't shut up but you shouldn't tell me you love me. You asked for it, so I'm writing a novel for you! I think we went to that same chess club - I did the same thing gifting the black transparent MM+ to a friend just as an excuse to try the grey one. Whilst I'm glad I did, I miss the customisability (read: all-night, sexy MM+ raving time). I also had a chance recently to hold both A:SPs and I knew already the blue was going to feel better for the reasons you mentioned (looks better too,, sorry C64). However, I didnt get one... because I'm holding out with vague hope like you that Miyoo uses their delay in manufacture to get right with their device what Anbernic got wrong here. By the time Miyoo releases, Anbernic may revise a new model anyway. 😅 You're also absolutely right - it's *just* a little too bulky to be completely portable. Opinions are divisive but I'm nerd-camp analogue sticks too, I'd love to play N64 games on the go with a truly pocketable device that offers flip-protection. I'm of the opinion that 'it's better to have it and not need it than...' etc. I doubt it from the renders but I pray Miyoo can work their older buttons into the Flip somehow - they feel perfect to me. When I tested the A:SP d-pad, the clickiness wasn't as bad as I expected, but I felt I had to press way too deliberately to make comfortably-accurate inputs. The face buttons and the shoulder buttons were just too clicky and loud for me (but better than the obnoxiously loud and cheap vertical 35XX models) and so I never picked up a single 35XX model since Anbernic changed to mostly dome-switch inputs. I can't enjoy them, especially for fighting games but people seem to love them. Most retro consoles I really enjoyed (SNES, GB, PS1) were mushy. Clicky d-pads which are still soft and quiet yet very precise (PS Vita, RP4Pro) are acceptable. But loud, clicky face buttons feel cheap and taxing on the thumbs, like early 3rd party controllers for retro consoles we bought then hated back in the day (my opinion). So roll on MM:F! Praying for them to release it with the right plastic/hinge, less chunky somehow (is this possible with the recessed sticks?), nice, quiet controls that they're known for, good battery life and as flawless emulation as the alleged RK3566 can handle. If they can completely revise the device and implement Android so it can actually sleep when folded, that would be the one. The A30 was a let-down but I think they can flip back into the consumers' good books if they learn from this and take time to craft something perfect (and if they release the pastel colourway from the early renders, then they've transcended into god-tier). Let's see! Either way, this and the H are the best of the line, still decent, but hopefully this incites competition. Finally, I commented this epic prose because this was one of your better videos, had a great balance between your style of comedy, genuinely interesting and different perspectives and fair/unique critique. :) Been watching since you started but subscribed today. Keep at it. ;)

Lovin' your content, Vlad! Kisses bro!

Honestly the size is a non-issue. It's not that bigger than the OG SP, it's way heavier though.

Which color is the best looking in person is all I need to know

I mean this as a compliment. But you kind of look like Post Malone without all the tattoos. I thought that was pretty cool. Thank you for the video. I've got a blue one coming tomorrow.

“this mother flipper” 😂😂😂

tell us more about firmware for this tools , custom ...

Im waiting for the RG35xxsp V2 :)

New to the channel, honest question: are you faking your accent? If so, why?

Not show this guy an Nvidia Shield if he thinks this thing is too thick when closed.

this device needed a different chip with a real sleep function (like the trimiu smart pro) and it needed a better screen for GBA! gba sucks on this screen, the text is all wobbly and crazy. 640x480 will never be good for gba my rg35xxSP has seen almost no serious playtime because of these two issues. I don't it will ever make it into regular use for me

Vlad bro i would like to ask you when Knulli or Mu OS master Portmaster on the codee and compability department you please make a video to led US know. Knulli hás bigger potencial but Portmaster is better só far on MU OS.

A real sp is double the costs for inferior screen and short battery also you have to buy games.

My RG35XX H just started having charging issues. Do I need to update the firmware?

You got the motherflipper!

Different plastic or quality control issues... Thank you for the Honest review Vlad!

Has anyone ordered through his link with the 10% discount? Does it take long to arrive standard free delivery to UK?

I ordered one today

finally a thumbstick enjoyer, i have no clue why everybody wants to rip their thumbsticks off their consoles I'm eagerly awaiting the miyoo flip, why's it taking so long?

Vlad is back ❤❤❤❤

You also have to take planned obsolescence into consideration…

GBA Rave Cool Kid Blue. 😎 Sign me up.

I need thumsticks the H, is better🎉 BTW my favourite console is GBA

You didnt finish your sandwich

Now you got me waiting for the blue one 😂🎉

🎉🎉🎉 great vid

Have you seen Tech Dweeb’s actual face?

Went through all your videos (okay, maybe only like 10 or so) waiting to see your pet Bear...
